Hematology Services

At the Gettysburg Cancer Center, our hematology services include diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care. We’re proud to offer hematology care in two convenient locations, so patients and their families don’t have to travel to different hematology hospitals across Central Pennsylvania for tests or treatments.

Our hematology care treats several common blood disorders, including:

Anemia: This is when your body doesn’t have enough red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body. Low energy, loss of hair and pale skin are all symptoms of anemia. Shortness of breath, without exercise, can also be a symptom.

Immunodeficiency: This is when your body’s immune system, like your white blood cells, can’t defend against infections. Fevers, night sweats and infections that won’t heal are signs of immunodeficiency.

Leukemia: A form of cancer that causes abnormal, cancerous white blood cells. Symptoms of leukemia include low energy, easy bruising and continued infections.

Clotting or Bleeding Disorders: When your body can’t stop its bleeding effectively. Cuts or other scrapes that are slow to clot, as well as premature strokes and heart attacks, are possible signs of a bleeding disorder.
